Field Notes D. A. Bell May 26, 1990 one imm. + one sub-adult eagle are making regular foraging trips around Tatoosh I. May 27, 1990 Getting ready to pack & leave the island. Collected two gulls on Toad Point (DAB 711-712), 2 birds on 1 shot. Rainy. Fair amount of boat traffic - mostly at Cape Flattery, but not as much as expected. Rough sea must be keeping people away. We were picked up by 2 boats at 13:30. Unfortunately, Bobo Paines' standard ride from the group at Big Snow Charters couldn't take people, because someone switched on them not having a "water taxi" license for people. So another fellow had to "donate" his time to pick up the people (us). Ride to Neah Bay went quick, in a "Cadillac cruiser". More rain. Back at Neah Bay Tim "offered" to take my specimens into Seattle for me. It freed us up, so Warren and I headed for the ferry at Port Angeles. Black Ball Ferry to Victoria. Made it on the 18:00 Ferry. Weather calmed markedly. Left Victoria, and the Oake Bay Hotel for a much needed bath + beer. May 28, 1990 Sunny in Victoria. We went downtown, then tried to catch ferry to Anacortes, WA over the San Juans. But too late. Only 1 ferry on Memorial Day. So we took a ferry from Swartz Bay to Tsawwassen, BC, then the Canadian Gulf Hx.
